THE POLISH ARMY IN BRITAIN, 1940-1947 - Students watching an operation performed by Professor Antoni Tomasz Jurasz, the Dean of the Polish School of Medicine, in the operating theatre, the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh. Finding that among the Polish Forces (1st Polish Corps) in Scotland were many medical officers who had held academic positions in Polish universities and students of medicine whose studies had been interrupted by the war, it was decided that facilities for their further studies should be provided at the Polish School of Medicine at the Edinburgh University. Medical officers of academic standing were permitted to work there and students (including female students) to go up for 3 to 6 months refresher courses, graduate and return to the army as reinforcements for the medical services. The School operated between 1941 and 1949.
